Found mine. It was from the spring of 2006 in a thread titled "When did you become a rifle loony?"
Here it is-
"I pulled my first firearm trigger when I was about five. It was on a Rem. Nylon 66 of my Grandpa's that he and my Dad were sighting in in the backyard of my childhood home. I believe my Dad held the rifle and allowed me yank the trigger. Don't know if I hit the piece of drywall they had propped up as a target but bless them both, they said I did. A few years later in 1980, Grandpa died and that .22 became mine. I still have it. Always will until it goes to one of the twins we're expecting in June."
Since I made that post, my twins have arrived and thrived and are 8 years old now and my son has fired the same gun I got my start with, helped by the same man who taught me-my dad. That was last summer and made a hell of a good memory.
